Well, my shotty's in there keeping it company. You had any luck getting through to the feckers? Their phone numbers been engaged for me all morning, I'm not even getting to a switchboard or answering machine.

And as predicted, the incompetent van monkeys attempted delivery today.

£71.39 at Taiwangun. £61.87 at Gunfire , discount codes may be available.

Ergh, I've got Monday 12th as well. So much for Wednesday 7th. I've re-scheduled for the 13th, not that Parcel Farce will honour that. The sooner the last dregs of the Royal Fail finally go out of business, their pension scheme implodes, and their shop stewards have to get real jobs stacking shelves (yes, weekends too, you workshy feckers) the better.

Now in transit, but no delivery today, so no new toys for this weekend. It's like living in Soviet Russia!

I'm struggling to see anything like a date on m... Wait a darn minute. It's still in "Pre Advice", i.e. it's not even been handed to the courier yet. Not "has just been sent", the lying hounds.

Well, spank my nuts and call me a scutter. Dispatched and apparently in transit. I may have got the last one after all. It's unlikely to arrive by the weekend though, let alone the indicated date of tomorrow, but it's the thought that counts. No, wait, the other thing, it's having the item before the next game day that counts.

Fake news, now £175. You'd have to pay me to deal with that seller though.

I imagine if you're buying something from stock, and they've got loads of it, then they're probably no worse than any other airsoft retailer. ... which is about the faintest and most damning praise I can think of.

No update today. Aaaand the CM351 I ordered is now showing as out of stock. Did I get the last one, or will I receive that "Dear Customer..." sadface email when they can be bothered sending it?

#BorgLivesMatter This is their chance to win back my love, then we'll be besties forever.

No progress on my order. It's true, Johnny Foreigner doesn't get the concept of queuing. 😢

😲 Wow. I got order 61707x last Thursday night. How far have they got since then? I don't mind too much about the dispatch and delivery time, as it's still much cheapness, many bargains Just as long as they don't foul it up like my previous order and go incommunicado. Friday dispatch and (this) Wednesday delivery was indicated when I ordered, so that's when the PayPal dispute will start. I love PayPal so much, it means not having to care about retailers' incompetence or excuses.

Huh, the 10% discount code is now front and centre and applies to everything. That's some seriously cheap gear at the moment - if it shows up. No updates on my order today, I expect they're victims of their own success again. 🙄

Back on topic, because I'm cheap and I don't learn well, I've put in another small order with them. One thing I'll note is that they seem to love discount codes, which are fairly easily found with a quick "gunfire discount code" Googol. 10% off what's already the cheapest EU prices that I can find was too much to resist. Order went in last night, I got the initial acknowledgements, but nothing today. I've again (I really should listen to my own advice) gambled on a "very small quantity of stock" item. Taking bets on when I get the "Dear Customer, unfortunately there is problem with order..." response.

I agree in principle. In practice, it's a long road, and the up-front costs add up quickly if you're determined to take it all the way to recovery. I say this not to discourage anyone from doing it, just to set realistic expectations.

You need to factor in the seller's time in putting together that amazing custom gun. Silencers don't screw themselves on.

Can't we learn from your experience?

In what way have you "been through this with the authorities"?

Can you expand on what that means in practice? I ask because as far as I can see , there is no intent defence for importing something that isn't an airsoft RIF. I doubt you'd get far arguing intent to deactivate if you tried to import a firearm. If Border Force are turning a blind eye, maybe that's because they've been hit by a 400fps full auto AEG.

I swear, I do have an actual DWTSOT hi-vis, but it's not visible enough for me to find it.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a retailer asking as much as £140 for a CM16 Raider, and with no option to post it. I was going to say that at least it'll come with a battery, but the chancer is asking another £15 for that. The fairest thing that you can say is that he's listed it as "used" rather than "as new" or similar delusions, and that it comes with a pretty collection of chrono cable ties on it.

No front sight to get in the way of your C-clamp.

I was going to have a moratorium this month as well, but £40 or so doesn't really count, right? Be honest, is there anything in that box that you don't already have three of?

It's a slow afternoon, so more out of boredom than burning desire, I've just ordered: My MP5K is already pretty barky, having a full sized V3 piston spitting 310fps+ out of a 110mm barrel. Might as well play to its strengths. The base layer is because I usually play in a wicking t-shirt but Mrs Borg gets sadface when I come back leaking hero-juice it's brown. Remember when "coyote" was "camel"? I guess coyotes are bitier and therefore manlier.
